Been taking advantage of the warmer weather. Unfortunately, there's nothing but grass on the trail. In this part of the midwest on-snow time has been limited. So, running has been the cornerstone of my Birkie training this season—we'll see if it pays off. Putting in about 45 miles a week these past weeks. Today was an 11 mile... 76 minute run by the trail. But, the Birkie crew is dedicated enough to put together a good race coming up this next week, so I'll do what I can do at the moment to be ready. It may be pounding pavement, but Birkie fever is still running strong. Beautiful day for a fast paced run. See you in Cable.

It's been a winter unlike any I remember. I haven't been able to ski here once. No snow in the northern Wisconsin. But, Birkie Fever is still burning strong. With the lack of snow I was forced to run a 9.5 mile loop in a little over a hour, in some old Alphafly 2's with 365 mile on them. Felt phenomenal. As I ran past the Ashland Ski Trail noticed about 5% barely there corn snow and 95% grass. Beautiful spring-like day to enjoy some cross-training cardio. Praying for colder temps and some snow. Stay active.
